Wikipedia wrote:Emo Philips (born February 7, 1956 as Phil Soltanec) is an American entertainer and comedian born in the Chicago suburb of Downers Grove. Much of his standup comedy stems from the use of paraprosdokians and garden path sentences spoken in a wandering falsetto tone of voice and a confused, childlike delivery of his material to produce the intended comic timing in a manner invoking the 'wisdom of children' or the idiot savant. ...

For those enamored of his humor there's a link to Wikiquote with a collection of Philips' quotes, including one about two Baptists that I heard long ago but whose source I didn't know. I swear though that when I heard it, it was about two Civil War soldiers, Yankee and Confederate, arguing at the edge of a cliff. Either way it had the same punch line. Follow the link to his web site to find the earliest Emo Philips film, from 1983.

Perhaps MTC is just referring to Beck.
I am not in much love with that commentator myself.
Not to get into arguments over politics, but once
he castigated offenders when on another network,
and showed over and over the ovens Hitler used to
eliminate people he did not like. That totally turned
me off. He has his opinion, and I have the right to
not watch nor listen to him.

One of my favorites from Groucho:
Groucho (to woman): I need to speak to your husband. I'll go get him.
Woman: My husband's dead.
Groucho: Oh, in that case YOU go get him.
Cant' remember which movie that came from.

Be who you are and say what you feel in your heart. Because those that matter, don't mind. And those that mind, don't matter.
